“We had a delicious breakfast at Dienner's. The food is amazing and the staff is so friendly and curtious. We were so impressed we went back for dinner. If ever in the area this restaurant is the place to go to have an excellent meal. We will always have our meals here when in town!“

“We stayed on a summer weeknight and had a great experience! The grounds are beautiful with tons of photo opportunities and peaceful walking trails. We stayed in the Carriage House—very clean rooms with their own parking, and just a short, easy walk to the main hotel. The complimentary breakfast buffet for guests was a highlight—especially the made-to-order omelettes, which were absolutely delicious! The shops on-site are super cute, and the pool and playgrounds kept the kids happily entertained. A relaxing, family-friendly getaway—we’d definitely stay again!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem Worth Every Bite! As a Lancaster native, I can confidently say Casey Jones Restaurant has officially earned a permanent spot on our list of local favorites! From the moment we walked in, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. The quality of the food was absolutely impeccable — every bite was fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. What truly elevated our visit was the incredible service by Braighton L. — personable, attentive, and genuinely friendly. Braighton made us feel right at home and brought an energy to the table that made the whole dining experience even more enjoyable. To top it all off, the prices were surprisingly reasonable considering the high-end quality of both the food and service. It’s rare to find a spot that hits the mark across the board like this. We’ll absolutely be back — and next time, we’re bringing friends and family to share this amazing gem. If you haven’t tried Casey Jones yet, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great old school diner. We will definitely stop there again in the future.“

“We kind of stumbled upon Gracies and we are sure happy we did. Our waitress was sweet and patient with us during a busy time as we asked questions. Our food was amazing. The Iced Biscoff Latte was absolutely out of this world. Best Latte I have ever had. We plan to travel back again just for Gracies. Get there and try it for yourself!“

“What a wonderful evening. The food was amazing, the drinks were creative and the cabaret night was so fun! Highly recommend for an elevated dining experience.“

“Enjoyed dinner with friends. Brittanie was our waitress. Very good!! The chef was accommodating to a slight change replacing a regular burger on a salad instead of a beyond burger option of protein add on. Burger was delicious!!“

“Had the best time at Reflections Restaurant to celebrate my dads retirement. I have a almost three year old with that said this place was just so nice going in at 3pm - we had a little area to ourselves and the food was amazing. I never order a pork chop anywhere as well ya... lol but thanks to this page ans what i read on reviews it was by far the best meal i had in a long time. My girl ordered the pizza didnt touch any of it as she was too busy eating my pork chop and her grand parents yummy meat loaf and truffle mac and cheese All of us left stuffed and happy It was just too darn yummy ! Thanks for the memories -“

“I came here for a trivia night event and had the Sea-duction with a side of green beans and a baked potato. The seafood was tender and well-seasoned. I especially enjoyed the broiled flounder. The baked potato was cooked just right and came with butter and sour cream. I absolutely loved the seasoning on the green beans and they were tender without being overcooked. The service was prompt and friendly, especially with the business of the evening. The dining area was open with an inviting ambiance. I would come back again and sample some more of their menu in the future!“

“The three of us went for a late lunch and even though we had to wait about 20-25 minutes to get a seat, the staff for the most part were really friendly. One of the waitresses has been there for a long time and is always super friendly to my mom and I. Food came out fairly quickly and tasted wonderful“

“Outstanding service. Excellent Diner style food, served hot. Follow the locals and you cant go wrong .“

“great food selection. every time I try to eat here the parking lot & surrounding block is full. or on one day it says they're open online and then they're closed. it's been a few weeks unable to catch them at the right time unfortunately. maybe time for a bigger lot or something“

“This is our very favorite restaurant, however due to a very large crowd this evening, we had to sit at the bar. It was nice at first. But our waitress/bartender was a bit rude to us and didn't even check on how our meals came out, offer more beverages, refills and did not offer dessert. We usually tip very well but didn't this time. The crowd had really dispersed by the time we had our meals so there was really no excuse for the bad service. We will continue to go back of course becasue we love it there but hoping for a better experience.“

“We come from Maryland to go to Dottie's Snack Bar. We missed them when they were closed. We are so glad they are back and still as a family run small business. My favorite thing is a strawberry sundae. The ice cream is great! So are the steak subs. Welcome back Dottie's.“

“What a great find. From start to finish everything was terrific. We asked the hostess when were seated what was good as we’d never been there. Her answer was everything. She was entirely right. From the delicious pickled veggies and bread with compound butter to the multi greens salad, just over the top good. I had the double burger, cooked exactly to my request. Coupled with their special app of bacon wrapped asparagus. My wife had sautéed beef tips which was also cooked and seasoned perfectly. This was a meal that far surpassed our expectations in just how delicious everything was. Our lovely server, Lexi, also was a pleasure. We told the owner who stopped to ask how everything was that he and his staff were great and how much we enjoyed our dinner. If you’re in the Lancaster, PA area for a show or sightseeing put the Olde Mill Restaurant in Intercourse PA in the the gps. You’ll be glad you did. Merry & Doug Braun“

“We had a group of 28 for dinner and drinks. The staff handled our group like pros! Yes, we had a little extra wait time with such a large group which was to be expected, but the crew was on top of our drink service and checked back frequently to follow up on our needs. No easy task serving so many at once- Carmen and Johanna were on top of things and Jess was thrown into the fire with it being her first night on the job - you would have never known.! Everyone was happy with their meals, great food and friendly service.
The complimentary pretzel bites are always a favorite!“

“Everyone here is pleasant. There are a lot of activities here for the residents. I come here to help some clients and they all love it here.“

“Penley's Pub is a recent addition to Dutch Wonderland. It's the first restaurant inside the park that serves alcohol and they have a great selection of local beers. They also have a few food options focusing on pretzels and sausages. The prices are decent given that it's inside an amusement park.“

“This was our second visit. Outstanding restaurant, 2 open spaces for dining, so we request the wine room that has just 3 tables that is quieter. It is a bit chilly, so dress with that in mind. The special was Dover Sole, and it was the best fish I have ever had. Filleted at the table expertly by Mr. Sal. Party of 4, 3 had fish, one had the super hamburger. A great special occasion place, or any night when you find yourself with extra funds.“

“delicious ice cream. can't wait to try their lunch!“

“Haven't had a burger this good in YEARS!! Onion rings are great, BLT is awesome. Wish I had room for dessert. Prices are reasonable. Real old time family sit down atmosphere and quality service. Quality and portion are great. Highly recommend.“

“The dining experience is designed for groups of 20 or more and requires advance reservations. Guests are seated at long communal tables and served a variety of Pennsylvania Dutch dishes, including fried chicken, baked ham, meatloaf, mashed potatoes with gravy, brown buttered noodles, and green beans. Meals begin with rolls and coleslaw and conclude with two in-house-made desserts. 

The restaurant operates on a fixed menu basis, offering an “Amish Family-Style Menu” from January to October and a “Holiday Feast Menu” in November and December. Beverages such as iced tea, lemonade, water, coffee, and hot tea are included. 

For those not part of a large group, the adjacent Smokehouse BBQ & Brews offers a more casual dining option with a menu featuring smoked meats, local craft beers, and traditional Lancaster County favorites. 

Overall, Plain & Fancy Farm Restaurant provides a unique opportunity to experience Amish-style communal dining in a setting that reflects the cultural heritage of Lancaster County.“

“My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at this quaint pub with its sports bar feel. From its delectable beer menu to its delicious pub style food menu, everything was done well! We loved the staff who were very welcoming and engaging. We received recommendations and tastings! Best of all, the prices are reasonable. I would highly recommend eating and chilling here alone, with friends, with family, or with your boo.“

“This place serves up really decent comfort food for a very affordable price. The atmosphere is a bit rustic and that fits the neighborhood quite nicely. You can't go wrong with nearly anything on the menu and they even make a Pittsburgh salad.“

“Brendan was are server….service was excellent food and drinks were served very quickly but not rushed…food was delicious and prices were very reasonable would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Lancaster“

“Spring/summer/early fall Friday night live band nights are always fun. Recently discovered the Birds Nest Deck to watch the Eagles games and I won’t watch them anywhere else now. I believe there has been a change of ownership since the past (2021) and I definitely think they are moving in the right direction.“

“I recommend Cracker Barrel…food tasted amazing as always! Coleslaw was delicious. However, disappointed in the serving size for Chicken n’ Dumplins meal with 3 sides! This visit we picked up 2 Chicken n’ Dumplins 3 sides the first one had only two chicken tenders…mostly dumplings. Disappointing only two chicken tenders. Then today moved on to the second meal of the same dinner chicken n’ Dumplins and not one piece of chicken! Not even a piece of one! Frustrating to say the least. Will be a while before I will go back! Lancaster, PA Cracker Barrel 10/18/25“

“I held a private luncheon on a Saturday afternoon for 30 people. Mick responded promptly when I made an online inquiry. The room and food were prepared to perfection. The service was excellent, the room and tables were clean, and the food was delicious. It was nice to have the outdoor area for the little kids to get a break and play. We had reserved the room for two hours, and some guests were slow to leave. The staff was patient and did not rush us out the door. I highly recommend Mick’s in Willow Street.“

“So good, food was fast and fresh.“

“Love this restaurant! The crap cakes are so good! So much crab meat!! The grilled steak kabobs are the best! It quickly became one of my favorite restaurants!“

“This was our first visit to the Fulton Steamboat Inn after a family recommended it—and it was such a fun experience! I mean, who wouldn’t want to sleep on a steamboat? The rooms have so much charm and felt slightly updated while still keeping that cozy, themed feel. Everything was super clean, and the grounds were beautifully maintained. The kids loved the playground and pool, and we all enjoyed strolling around the little lake—especially spotting all the baby ducks! The only downside was that breakfast isn’t included. We didn’t try the on-site restaurant, but there are plenty of great local spots nearby. Overall, a fun and memorable stay—highly recommend!“

“We come to this restaurant often when we are in Pa camping. We love their Crab Bisque and shrimp special that is served on Thursday's. It's really good! Going tonight to try their pot pie. Great place to check out when in the area.“

“Good food and atmosphere.“

“Great food and terrific beer selection in a classic English pub setting.“

“While I like most of Stoltzfus’s items, I’ve been disappointed in their chicken salad. It used to be a staple in our home but seems like they’ve changed the recipe. It’s now so runny with mayo (or whatever they use) that it plops right off our sandwiches. They’ve also seem to cut back on the celery which added a nice contrasting crunch. Please bring back the old recipe.“

“Parking: Arthur's Terrace Restaurant is located in The Eden Resort Hotel, Best Western, Eden Road, Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where there is plenty of parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Restaurant is located in a hotel where there is a hotel lobby.“

“No wait time, clean and friendly environment but best of all… amazing food!“

“The service was quick and very pleasant. Your coffee was some of the best I’ve drank and your black bean brownie was better than a regular one!! My grandson enjoyed it and never knew the difference ❤️ An eclectic, homey, well priced coffee and eatery. Lots of options for vegan and gluten free. Will definitely be back!“

“These pretzels were super delicious! We tried the plain, whole wheat, garlic, and cinnamon crunch along with the sweet mustard and cheese sauce. My favorite was the plain, we didn’t even need any dipping sauce because the taste and softness was simply amazing!“

“I really like everthing I have ever bought at Zigs, my problem is the service, you can be at counter waiting for service an the servers will just walk past you.“

“had lunch there yesterday, had very good food and service! highly recommend.“
